Woman hurts my feelings

Out there, driving in Greeley, enjoying the day, minding my own biz, thinking good things about my fellow humans.

Then SHE came along.

It was in the parking lot of a place I’ll call WaL-Nut, just so I won’t make some major corporation mad at me. and I was trying to find a parking place, when she started backing out.

It wasn’t too bad at first. She was backing out and I was quietly waiting…

…then I saw she was talking on her cell phone, at the same time she was trying to back out with this SUV which was about the size of a garbage truck, and she wasn’t really looking behind her, and she kept coming closer and closer and closer…

Until I was afraid this woman would hit me, so I beeped my horn.

She stopped.

She looked back.

Now, what happened next can be easily explained. Here was this woman, who looked about 50 years old, backing a Huge SUV out of a parking space and talking on her cell phone at the same time, and I honked and disturbed her.

So, what does she do? Well, one hand is holding the steering wheel, and the other hand is holding her phone, so she can’t give me the one-fingered salute, which I assume she usually gives to other drivers whom she almost runs over.
